Brave DR.. Rabbeth.
Cst4!James' Gazette.1

Does any one ever hear Of q medical
man who lacks courage? There is a sad
story In the newspapers to-day Of . doc
tors gallantry and devotion. A child at
the Gray's Inn Road Free Hospital was
suffering from diphtheria, and the opera
tiou Of pacheotomy was performed. In
order to remove the matter that had ac.
cumulated in the child's throat it became
necessary to suck it through tube, and
this was done by the senior medical officer,
DR.. Samuel Rabbeth. The Doctor, how.
ever, caught the disease, and, we regret
to say, died last night victim Of .
noble and courageous sense of duty.
Such acts are fortunately not rare in
ear hospital wards and infrmaries; but
they assuredly deserve some recognition
when they are recorded. Most men-most
Englishmen, at any rate-we suppose are
not deficient in a certain kind of physical
bravery; but the bravery required to
charge a battery of machine guns, or
even what Napoleon called "the two
o'clock in the morning courage" which
he claimed and which his enemies denied
him, might fail before such an ordeal an
that incurred by the young medical officer,
DR.. Rabbeth, it apears, was only in his
tw enty eighth y"a".

A Connecticut Cat Story.
Norwich Bulletin.l

There were three cats In Williams street
family, and the lady of the house conclud-
I'd that one was sufficient to do all the bust.
aess, and an edict Of death was passed on
the old cat and her kitten. The question Of
the manner Of death was settled and the
chloroform purchased. Days passed after
the chloroform was in the house before the
sxecutioner could muster courage to exc
cute tho sentence. To facilitate matters
the lady thought that some laudanum add
I'd to the cats milk would produce stupor
that would make the chloroform more easy.
The drug was put in the milk and esndered
the old cat. She tasted the food, cast her
eyes suspiciously around her, and refused
to eat. The kitten rushed to the dish to
partake of the milk and was violently
knocked away by the old cat, who took a
corner of mat and covered over the dish
10 hide 1t from the kitten and prevent her
from taking the medicine" The lady
could not believe it possible that the act
was Intentional on the part of the cat, and
uncovered the dish and again rendered tie
dish to her. She again knocked the kitten
from the dish and covered it over more
carefully than before. This repetition of
the protective act gained the goodwill of
the lady, and she gave up killing the cats.
She can not satisfy her mind, however,
whether the action Of the cat was prompt
ed by instinct or reason.

A Painful Experience.
Tribune, Saturday: Messrs. Oliver Whit.
taker and H. A. Armstrong came up yester.
day from Emmons County. Mr.. Whit
taker, who was on horseback, experienced
an adventure near Long Lake City which,
while it may be entertaining to others,
proved decidedly unpleasant in it's con.
sequences to Mr.. Whitaker While gal.
loping over the prairie the horse sud-
denly stopped in thick bed of cactus of
the variety which is chiefly remarkable
fer its plentiful supply of nesdle-like
"prickers," and commenced kicking and
bucking in way that convinced Mr..
Whitaker of the advisability OF dis
mounting. Accordingly he dismounted,
but kept firm grip on the bride. The
horses feet were covered with the
needles, and he evinced great uneasiness.
Mr.. Whitaker endeavored to relieve him
by pulling cut the needles. Sud denly the
animal jerked away. and such, was the
shock that the good Samaritan sat down.
The pony trotted off hundred yards o,
so; then turned about and came back to
its master. When Mr.. Whitaker wants
to sit down now he prefers to stand up.
His injuries are not mortal but they are,
nevertheless, of character which any
man engaged in sedentary pursuits could
not fail 10 despise.

The Time IL Near at Hana.

The thrasher is here, and you will soon
be marketing your grain. Because the
RECORD hasn't sent out any bills since
the short crop of last year became an as
sured fact, our delinquent subscribers
should not understand that we are pub
fishing newspaper just for ga-lory, nor
that fine state of health is an entirely
satisfactory condition of existence. In
other words, we have waited patiently
for better times. Those better times
have come. We have earned our money,
and we want it. There are few people
some in the county, some elsewhere
who have taken the. paper for two or
three years, and who have never mani
tested any desire or intention to pay for
it. Many of this class we know are able
to pay for the paper, and if they do not
do SO by fall we propose to advertise their
accounts for sale, to the end that honest
citizens generally may know who the
chronic dead-beats are. Paper, ink and
everything else used in country Office
must be paid for in cash, and we ask only
what we are entitled to.
